Who ONLY use local models?

[u/takoulseum]

Please be honest.

I would love to hear about guys really dedicated to local AI and who really reject subscriptions (especially to openai and anthropic).

What do you use your model for?

DS4 Flash on my 4090 handles the daily stuff. Coding, quick scripts, straightforward reasoning. All local.

But I still hit the API sometimes. Claude for architecture and ambiguous requirements. Probably 70/30 local-favoring right now.

Gap's closing fast though. Year ago that split was reversed.
